Things are about to get hot this weekend, and we don’t just mean the weather. There’s much to do this weekend around our local neighbourhoods to keep eager adventurers busy. Don’t forget to say cool and hydrated – that goes for our furry friends as well. Happy weekend, friends!

A magical adventure of musical proportions, Driftwood Theatre’s A (musical) Midsummer Night’s Dream is sure to delight the hearts of audiences of all ages.

Cool down with a sweet treat from Sprinkles on Top. This ice cream parlour, bake shop and dessert café is the sweetest shop in Stoney Creek, and so cute, but don’t take our word for it, go on and visit them.
